I like Alyrenee's idea. I've seen this on the Fwooshnet forums and it seems to work well, and it looks much neater too. Also, by doing this, it's easier to see all the older customs, if there is a post of links on the first page of each thread, that would otherwise just get pushed back through the forum so much, and hardly seen again. I have searched through older threads looking for customs many, many times. Having this would make the searching easier, and it would give the customizers who don't have their own sites somewhere to have a directory of all their work. So yeah, I'm all for this idea.

Who would be the one to set up all of this in the fan fiction section, Hadley ? Reading back over your post DigiLee, I noticed that maybe there are maybe a little too many sub-boards. Maybe the main Fan Fiction page could be the Promotion Section, so that all the new fresh stuff is what people see first, and everyone will have to see them, to view any other sub-boards. I like the idea of the Jossverse FanFiction sub-board but i would think that the Virtual Series' could be slipped in there too. Since i post AFS, i would quite happily put it in a Poems/DollShows/Misc sub-board because that way, only the selected readers can view them and not have other members who dislike them to get annoyed and let the figure shows do there own thing in a separate sub-board. I would be happy to see Other FanFiction in another board, but again, not really needed since they hardly ever come (only the Lost one has came up and a Nip/Tuck one) I think the figure shows should be the main concern. Not saying that because i do one, I'm thinking of the other members. Recently the FanFiction section hasn't had any figure shows because I've been on my exams and, i don't know about SS (busy maybe?) but I'll be posting mine again and he most likely will too, and i know most members who post in this section, don't like them. So i think it would be better for both of us and the rest of the forum if they were put in a sub-board. But the other side of this is, there are only two so why shouldn't 2ndE and Wicca get their own sub-board for their great fanfics? Either way, its alot of fuss. Just trying to come up with suggestions.

I supposed it would be out of the question to have section for one time fanfics and then give every Virtual Series Writers a thread for their own fanfic. I don't know. That is what Chosen01 has on his fanfiction site.

I know what your saying, and that looks very organised and nice, but i think because there is only Aprox 4. main FanFictions that run on a regular basis, i think it would be fine to just stick them all together.

Just so everyone is aware, I'm making the wanted changes regarding the fan fiction and fan art sections. It's going to take me a little while to move all of the threads to their appropriate places, so please be patient. -CMK

I didn't really want the promotion thread... but it's up to Chad.
And why do we need a doll shows sub-board???
I feel like I've missed so much...

I guess it's all been changed now - nevermind my comments.

I don't think a "Promotion Thread" is needed either, all promotion could easily be kept in the FanFiction section, but it would maybe keep the forum nice and tidy.
No need to wig about the doll show thing. Its not only for DollShows. Its for anything that doesn't fit in any other section, like poems and the doll shows that have no other place in the forum.
Once it is up and running, hopefully this will give the FanFiction section that special spark again ;D

And I hope we get that spark back too

The changes are nice. In the art and graphics section especially, will the posts be changed to the most recent posts first instead of the oldest posts first? It's easier to see the most recent on the first page rather than having to go to the second page, etc.

Chad is sorting through everything right now so all sections will be a mess just now, it would be best if you stayed clear until everything is fixed then it will all be back to normal

I'll try to fix it ASAP. -CMK

And I hope we get that spark back too Trust me, luv. The spark is coming, and in the form of a big, huge, scary, whoosh-y comet. ... that sounded and looked so much better in my head.

Just so you guys know, the Fan Fiction section has been completely cleaned out. Thanks to those of you who informed me about your threads that you wanted saved!

Loving the FanFic section CMK, it's a great improvement. I had an idea today for a bit of fun in the Entertainment section, well not an idea just kind of saw it on another forum , anyway it's basically like a forum version of the MTV Awards, a load of award titles are given, for example Best Movie, Best Actor in a TV Show etc. then people nominate there choices, then when there all sorted people then people vote out of the nominees for the choice they want to win the award. I think people pretty much know how these things work. If it’s ok with a mod I was wondering if I may do something like this or if a mod has someone else in mind who could do it, I just think it could be a bit of fun and wanted to run it by the big guys.

If Dawn would assist, that would be wonderful.

I hope CMK gives you the go ahead. I think this would be so cool. But I don't think we should just stay with movies and tv shows, what about Buffy figures , props, comics, books etc.

I just want to say that I'm sad about how many hurt feelings and resentments are coming from this Survivor game. Beyond the nastiness that has happened in the threads, I keep getting IMs from people who are really upset about it.
I just wanted to to bring some attention to how it is tearing apart the supportive sense of community that so many of us really value about the board.
